Senior Electrical Engineer

About the role

This is a full-time, 40 hours/week, on-site or remote contract role located in Austin, TX, responsible for end-to-end design oversight of hyperscale data center power infrastructure.

The role ensures technical integrity, code compliance, and standardization across large-scale data center electrical systems supporting high-density AI workloads, including reviewing and guiding designs across multiple voltage levels, defining internal engineering standards, and ensuring consistency across a rapidly scaling portfolio targeting multi-gigawatt deployment.

Responsibilities

• Provide end-to-end technical oversight of electrical designs for hyperscale data centers
• Ensure compliance with internal standards, industry codes, and client requirements
• Review and validate electrical designs across MV, LV, and rack-level systems
• Develop and maintain internal electrical design standards, specifications, and best practices
• Evaluate electrical topologies and define appropriate architectures for different deployment scenarios
• Coordinate across engineering disciplines to ensure integrated system design
• Support high-density compute and AI infrastructure electrical requirements
• Identify and mitigate design risks related to reliability, redundancy, and scalability
• Drive consistency across a rapidly scaling global data center portfolio

Requirements

• 8+ years of electrical engineering experience in data centers or mission-critical infrastructure
• Experience with hyperscale operators (AWS, Google, Meta, Microsoft) or equivalent design firms
• Strong understanding of full electrical distribution systems (MV to rack-level)
• Expertise in electrical topologies (2N, N+1, catcher bus, distributed redundant architectures)
• Knowledge of relevant codes and standards (NEC, NFPA 70/70E/110, IEEE 446/1584, TIA-942)
• Ability to review and standardize large-scale electrical design across multiple projects
• Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering and construction teams

Qualifications

• Experience with AI/ML or HPC high-density compute environments
• Familiarity with EPMS/BMS integration and liquid cooling power distribution
• PE license (strongly preferred or in progress)
• Proficiency with Revit MEP, AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, SKM PowerTools, and Bluebeam

Benefits

• Medical Coverage: Two United Healthcare plans (PPO and HDHP with HSA), with employer contributions toward premiums
• Dental & Vision: United Healthcare dental with 100% preventive care coverage and vision benefits for exams, frames, lenses, or contacts
• Wellbeing Support: Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offering confidential counseling plus additional wellness and care navigation resources
• Retirement & Savings: 401(k) eligible after 30 days with automatic 6% enrollment (opt-out available), 1% annual increases up to 10%, plus HSA with up to $480 employer contribution
• Voluntary Benefits: Employee-paid accident insurance and critical illness coverage for major health events
